Yorkshire Carnegie entertains a Newport Gwent Dragons side at Pontefract on Sunday. Bryan Redpath has wrought the changes to the squad to both give regular players a rest and to afford game time to lads who have been missing out during the league campaign.

India won its 6th Women's Asia Cup title in as many editions. It is a mighty impressive show which indicates the strength of women's cricket in India compared to other Asian countries. The key figure in recent championships has been and was once again India's Mithali Raj.

With the help of a very obliging home defence and goalkeeper, Chelsea came back from the dead to score thrice in the last half hour. Until Costa's timely equaliser, the hosts looked certain to double their lead and emerge victorious, but the lack of a killer instinct was their undoing, as the Premiership leaders taught them a valuable lesson in clinical attacking. Of course the contest descended into a melee in added on time, but this custard pie fight should not disguise the fact that this was a momentous win for Conte's team. Chelsea's back-to-back triumphs against Tottensham and Manchester Wannabes have gone a long way towards convincing the doubters that this team are the genuine article when it comes to being Premiership contenders.

The results of qualifying for the 2016 Abu Dhabi GP would see the Williams Martini team secure 10th and 11th. For Felipe Massa this would be his last qualifying session in Formula One so it was a great way to finish his carer ahead of his team-mate. Valtteri Bottas would finish in 11th and would have the choice of tyres for the strat of the race.

After an encouraging start to the final practice session for the 2016 Abu Dhabi the results of the session was somewhat disappointing. Valtteri Bottas was able to keep in the top ten finishing in 9th but for team-mate Felipe Massa his session would see him down in 14th. His session was marked by a difficult qualifying simulation near the close of the session where he would spin as well as run wide seeing him drop down the times. Of more concern was the fact that both Force India cars were ahead of the Williams pair.

The second Friday practice session for the 2016 Abu Dhabi GP would see both Williams Martini drivers finish in the top ten. Valtteri Bottas would be 7th and team-mate Feliep Massa 10th. It would be an uneventful session for both drivers as they worked through their option tyres runs on the ultrasoft tyre followed by longer runs. The team would split their drivers with Valtteri completing a longer run on the supersoft tyre while Felipe was on the soft.

The opening Friday practice session for the 2016 Abu GP would see Williams Martini drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas finish in 9th and 15th. It was an uneventful session for the Williams team with both drivers focusing on the soft tyre. Felipe would have a small spin early in the session but this had no real impact on his session. Valtteri would complain about the performance of his car under braking seeing him well down the times.

In what is the final race of the 2016 Formula One season the Williams Martini team moves to the Yas Marina circuit for the 2016 Abu Dhabi GP. For the Williams team it is their final opportunity to move ahead of their rivals in the Constructors Championship, even if this is going to be a very difficult task. The team is hoping to see a repeat of their 2014 race that saw a double podium finish. The other significant moment in this race will be the fact that it will mark the end of Felipe Massa's Formula one career.

During the final ODI of the recent India versus New Zealand series when India entered the field to defend its 260 odd run total I did a double take, as many other fans probably did when I saw Saroj and Devaki and Pritiben as the names on the Jerseys.... Here is the story behind that. Very nice gesture by the players and BCCI
